DeviouslyCursed:  Why is your name White_Eagle_ but you have the avatar of a fox?  Just curious...

DeviouslyCursed:  Oh, if that is the case then my bad. I haven't unlocked anything yet, so I don't know one way or the other on what is possible. I just know people have been crying that it was going to effectively double the cost of outfitting a tank.

DeviouslyCursed: If they set up just one situation where you have a heavy that can sidescrape, and you get absolutely wrecked if you don't do it properly, that would be better than all their scenarios combined.

DeviouslyCursed:  Claus is an idiot, stop spamming his garbage everywhere. Your thread entirely about his video is enough.

DeviouslyCursed:  He means equip something in Loadout 2 that is already equipped in Loadout 1. He is complaining that if he only has 1 Bond Rammer, he can't equip is in both loadouts.

Draschel: HE is generally more predictable now. Not entirely, but much more soHE spam was common when in certain tanks, when against certain tanks, when in certain tier, when against a certain player. HE from KV2 or E100 dealing 350 to an enemy, that AP would have dealt 750 has you fortunate, sure. But that damage isn't ineffective. Thats still probably an unaimed 350 damage shot you sustain that you couldn't avoidI encounter it lots. More of, encountered**  Now its far fewer, working as intended. None of it is incorrect. Correct. Now small HE has the ability to be more than formerly being useless, and actually useful. A T92 light tank can deal 10 damage to is7, so long as it avoids the track, gun, mantle. Instead of 0 all the time, 1.12. And in the opposite spectrum, large caliber HE like from jagpanzer. isn't auto aim and expect at least 400. Now you can be punished and get 0 for not aiming. The big thing here, is aiming is required. Aim with small bore, deal damage. Even if a puny 75mm. Don't aim even with a massive 170mm, and you can get that 0.  Learn to aim. Don't shoot screens, don't shoot spaced armor. That is not the shells fault, it is user error.  I agree, most HE less than 130mm i'd say was useless, but it certainly depends the tier in question. And the target in question.  And if its high pen HE

DeviouslyCursed:  Nope. True. You want an example? SBMM and the rejects that think it will stop blowout games. See? True. Thanks for playing though.

DeviouslyCursed:  Except everything I said was true. Not my fault you've lumped yourself in with them.

DeviouslyCursed:  What he said. I wasn't going to go through that much effort, but I"m glad you did.

DeviouslyCursed:  You'd think if one played nothing but TDs, eventually you'd get good at it. I know, I know...  it's your teams holding you back...  I mean, it can't possibly be anything you are doing, right?

DomoSapien: Indeed, if you have accelerate crew training enabled, your vehicle will not accrue any elite xp as all of it will go towards your crew.

DomoSapien: Kind of strange, I'm genuinely curious if it was a gated survey that would have unlocked more questions or if it was a simple Net Promoter Score survey that was literally one question long.

DeviouslyCursed: +1 for the video, that s*** is crazy.

DomoSapien: Such cute doggos and cattos. My Toffee is looking mighty graceful in that collage.

Thanks to the players who submitted their pet photos! As a reminder, the contest is still ongoing. Get your pet pics in for a chance to win some sweet loot!

DeviouslyCursed:  The 134 page thread on SBMM is a clear indicator you are wrong about that. When people don't understand logic, reason, and the nature of evidence... they know that they know, and there is no convincing that person of anything else.

1LT_Dwayne: Some people here imagine that players that are fairly new to the game can choose from a selection of 100+ tanks and only play the op ones. What's makes me hate this game is with certain tanks you feel like the worst player and with some you feel like a tank god. Right now I'm playing the pershing and the ae phase 1. WG can you please balance your fcking tanks? Sorry I'm pissed right now.

Jaguarz: run repair on the game center, if that doesnt work uninstall and reinstall it is your first port of call with troubleshooting

DeviouslyCursed: weird error and double post 

DeviouslyCursed: This phenomenon is due in large part to the Dunning Kruger Effect: many players think they know more about games/balance/making things fun than they actually do, they think it would be so easy to "fix" any problems they see, and they get their panties in a wad when developers don't listen to them. The reality is, the surest way to ruin your game is to listen to the average reject on the forums.

DeviouslyCursed:  Apparently only a few actually read my long post. I will repost the pertinent portion here, since I already addressed this issue clearly.-----------------------------------------------------As far as Neato's comments. Well, which response has the correct answer to 2 + 2? A. The answer is 4B. The answer is 4, you prick. They both do. Adding an insult does not make the answer any less correct. It is still the right answer. The truth of Neato's answers does not change. The accuracy of his data does not change. Yes, I know; those of simple minds get triggered and can't separate out the facts from the jibes when there's been an insult. It's part of why they can't arrive at the correct conclusion anyway; they're easily distracted. But that's really not our problem. Yes, I also know about the whole "but you can convince people if you use nice words!" position some try to bring up. That might work when people are on the fence, or in a different medium. But on internet forums, I think I may have seen about 5 people be convinced after an argument since about the year 2000.  This isn't a courtroom, where "truth" is what you can convince people it is and a person's life is then affected. Your position about how people perceive things, and emotional arguments matter there. But we're talking about actual reality. Reality doesn't care if you believe it, it is still true. Reality doesn't care if you like it, it is still true. Reality doesn't care if someone insulted you and hurt your little feelings, it is still reality.---------------------------------------------------------

DeviouslyCursed: I detest FrontLines and wasn't going to play it at all unless there was a lot of bonds at stake, but even I think including tier 9's was a bad move.

Einzelganger7: So far, what I am enjoying the most of the patch is the fix to the soap rocks and surfaces, now the tanks feel much more stable while driving through them and also they seem to have better speed while going up on slopes.

Elias_K_Grodin: I appreciate your candor in pointing out that I am returning to the game after a few years and trying to catch up. I am happy for your accomplishments and wish you and your clan mates all of the best. Nevertheless, I play this game at my own pace and will not move up to the next tier until I am comfortable with that gameplay. I play WoT out of enjoyment and look forward upgrading my vehicles when I am ready for the next challenge. "We are all members of the same great family ...

DomoSapien: Bump for visibility.

Jaguarz:  So you are saying you have T56 codes and people should spam you for them?

Jaguarz:  He could use it to turn the pubbie Maus sideways.....

DeviouslyCursed:  Just to be clear when I said Maniac was correct, I personally was not referring to an active mechanic affecting players that can be manipulated. I was referring to RNG effectively "capping" the skill that good players can bring to bear in that one aspect of the game. If one removes that cap, you will see a redistribution all along the skill spectrum as those with good hand eye coordination get better and those without get worse. But the current really good players who also have really good mouse control... they would become gods. 10 years ago I would have been okay with RNG removal on shot dispersion. Now, no way. I have no delusions about my abilities now (or lack there of).

churchill50: If you have Elite XP on the tank, it will use that to purchase the Field Mods.If you don't have Elite XP, or you don't have sufficient Elite XP to purchase the Field Mod, it will use Free XP.

Adam_Antium: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! Es de público conocimiento que ha llegado la Actualización 1.14 y que esta trae una letanía de cambios: nueva rama, nuevo mapa, nueva mecánica, nuevo modo y mucho más. Por eso, a continuación, les dejo este video que especifica las novedades...  ...y por otro lado, como siempre, abro este hilo para comunicar sus impresiones respecto a esta nueva actualización.A continuación, les tiro un par de ejes por si precisan arrancar por algún lado (aunque toda opinión es válida): ¿Qué les parece la nueva rama? ¿Qué piensan de las modificaciones a las misiones de artillería? ¿Las mejoras a los tanques premium han sido satisfactorias? ¿Han probado las modificaciones? ¿Qué les han parecido? ¿Qué balance hacen de este parche? ¿Positivo, negativo, neutral? ¡Saludos y buenas batallas!

Jaguarz:  look up Darth Sensei of rigging, its not a cheat program

Jaguarz:  Its not great but its not as bad as people think, its just not easy and not versatile, the e100 got buffed recently, unnecessarily imo so the pz7 is certainly a candidate for improvement.

churchill50: If you don't have any XP accumulated after playing a battle, it's because you have Accelerate Crew Training selected.Unselect the Accelerate Crew Training box above your crew and you'll start accumulating XP again. Accelerate Crew Training takes the XP you would normally accumulate and gives it to the lowest skilled crew member in your crew.

churchill50: Some of those are good points. Some though...2. The double row tank carousel is in the vanilla game now. With no mods installed I have the carousel and filter options you show in your "With XVM" screenshot, minus a couple of the stats shown in the carousel.4. As mentioned above, with no mods I have all of the sort options shown in your "With XVM" screenshot.6. The proxy spotting circle is in the vanilla game now.7. The hit log in that location is in the vanilla game now. 1, 3, and 5 would be nice additions though.

CabMech:
It might not just be on your end, I just can't replicate it at the moment.  I asked CS to keep an eye out for more tickets with the same problem to see if there's a pattern.


Imgur is the best bet for image posting here, easy to upload and then you can just insert the file location URL into the Image box (see highlighted):

_BobaFett: Ouch, that sucks. Sorry.

CabMech: Hey IcyFirefly,

From my testing (with the Rudy just to be sure) I can't even get the option to spend Free XP if I have combat exp on it, and upgrading definitely uses the combat XP (my free XP total didn't change). 



I'm not sure how this action looks in the invoice logs yet but it's definitely worth submitting a customer support ticket so they can take a look and see if there's a bug happening.

churchill50:  Incorrect. WoT and World of Warplanes share free xp. WoT and WoWS do not. It was originally planned that they would, but WG decided against it at least partially due to how much more inflated the WoWS economy is.

_BobaFett: I disagree on the "pay to win" for the most part. It has been my experience as a free-to-play that it's still perfectly viable to play the game without paying. It's simply harder.

There are some exceptions, obviously.

_BobaFett:  It's burned, on fire, and charred to the core.

CabMech:

You're right, somebody raise Ernie Ford we need to rerecord:
